LH--

1) Get to know the gang--it's not Don you're talking to, this time. Or maybe I'll let Don answer next time.

2) Your "$ystem"---Tweedledum and Tweedledee-- is the classic self-defeating attitude of the Left. And if you don't like the system of representative democracy, remember what Churchill said about the subject.

Ebbie told you what you need to hear--not that it will change you one iota, of course.


Mike-

I note with interest you have not managed to find time to tell us why the Iraq war will not trump everything else this time. And people don't seem to be that confident of their own economic situation--tends to put them in a "throw the bums out" mood. Starting at the top.

And therefore sales ability of those who like to wave bloody flags of the never-ending "War on Terrorism" and "your marriage will be in danger..." will not be the deciding factor.

But perhaps you have some actual logic to give on why you still think Fred Thompson is the one.
